This morning I changed the right rear disk, caliper and pads. Looks like one of the Pistons stuck. The inside pad was down to metal and the outside face of the disk had a crack. Inside was wore down pretty thin. Hopefully fuel mileage will go up 1 or 2 mpg.
Also changed the weather stripping on the rear doors to get rid of those rattling.
The middle row seat, the 70% section is stuck down. It is a mechanical issue, not because it is wedged into the front seat. I have a thread going on about it currently

I did get it.
There was a book sandwiched between the seat and floor not allowing the seat to go down quite far enough to disengage the lock.
The 70% portion wouldn't slide forward either. On the right side that the spring was missing from, there was too much play in the sandwiched metal plates so it wasn't engaging push down to unlock the slide mechanism. I took a pair of vise grips, clamped it together and put a worm clamp on the pin to keep it all tight and together. now it works. worm clamp to keep everything sandwiched together tight.
Jim, the medical tubing is a thing of the past. You can get the new, updated door seals from several manufacturers now that have additional rubber material in them. This solves the whole problem the medical tubing was band-aiding. Rockauto or Ford has the new seals with the extra lobe on them.
